Emily Owens, MD: Cancelled, No Season Two

by Trevor Kimball, November 29, 2012

The Mob Doctor has essentially been cancelled and now The CW has officially cancelled Emily Owens, MD. The network has revealed that they won’t be adding to the initial 13 episode order and won’t be asking for a second season either.

On the positive side, all 13 episodes of Emily Owens will air. Hopefully this means that faithful viewers will get some kind of closure to the drama’s ongoing storylines.

The news doesn’t come as a surprise. Emily Owens got off to a poor start and the ratings haven’t improved. This season’s Arrow has proven that the tiny network can still produce new hit shows — at least by their ratings standards anyway.

Emily Owens, MD revolves around a young physician who discovers that her new workplace isn’t all that different from her days at high school. The series stars Mamie Gummer, Justin Hartley, Aja Naomi King, Kelly McCreary, Harry Lennix, Necar Zadegan, and Michael Rady.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the show? Are you sorry to hear that it’s been cancelled? Why do you think it failed to attract a bigger audience?

Why would you cancel the show? Although it wasn’t that popular it doesn’t specify that everyone dislikes the show. I clearly loved it. I was so shocked and mad when I found out there was no more episodes. I love the show so much I started this afternoon because I found it on netflix. I finished all episodes and searched when I could recieve the rest of the episodes. I am truly disappointed that the writers did not give this show a second chance, even to finish the first season. I love doctor shows, I am actually watching House, M.D.… Read more »

I had just finished watching all13 episodes of Emily Owens, MD on Netflix. I also was engaged in watching them weekly when the show was on air. I truly was crushed when the show didn’t re-air for more seasons. Seeing more seasons would be terrific. I’ve really learned a lot of medical knowledge from the show and the storyline was sensational. The cast was phenomenal and fresh. Please re-evaluate this show!!!

The show needed time. Two years later, I have just discovered Emily Owens M.D. It took a friend and Netflix to bring this brilliance to my attention. There was not enough promotion for when the show took off.
